I have a Sun Sparcstation 4 (110mhz 32mb mem 1GB hd) not doing much. It has no floppy drive or CD-Rom. Is there any way I can easily install Gentoo on it? Solaris 2.6 is rather out of date and limiting.

It will most likely just do DNS but I would much prefer Gentoo to Solaris, which I am having trouble getting to grips with. I can't even seem to get the damned thing working on my network under Solaris 2.6. It would be much cleaner to have both my server boxes running Gentoo really though.

I am considering selling it on eBay and seeing about another old Pentium 2 box. If I can get Gentoo on it I am set and I can keep it.

i used the debian netboot images and they worked great on my sunblade 100. you should have no problem with them. the only trick is you might need to repack the stage tarballs from *.tar.bz2 -> *.tar.gz using an existing system. the debian netboot disks that i used didn't have bunzip2 on them.
